What is a DIY Bumper Kit?

A weld-it-yourself alternative to all finished bumpers on the market.

The patented MOVE DIY Bumper Kit is revolutionizing the way you customize your pickup. Instead of blowing more than a grand on a pre-assembled bumper or wasting your time with cheap(er) but low-quality bumpers, join the MOVE Nation by building your own heavy duty DIY bumper.

All of our bumpers are manufactured with heavy-duty steel and allow for extra customization after the bumper build, while still at an extremely low price point.

What Do You Get with a MOVE DIY Bumper Kit?

The MOVE DIY Bumper Kit includes all the main pieces you need to build your heavy duty steel truck bumper, including 5 main pieces, frame mounts, a few trim pieces and clevis hooks. You'll use your own factory bolts. The pieces are pre-cut and pre-bent to fit your truck’s specific make, model and year and come ready for you to fit and weld together, using your truck as the jig, before bolting onto your truck. Also included in your DIY Kit are instructions and assembly drawings to walk you through your bumper build.

Please note: Cut, miter or coping is required for the tube portion of 1.5 & 2.5 prerunners as well as our full grill bumper kits.

Parts You Get in A DIY Bumper Kit

Push Bar/PreRunner: An upgrade to the standard bumper, the kit comes with extra parts, including a center 1.5” diameter tube and two 1.25” diameter wing tubes with an option to upgrade to a 2.5” center with 2” wing tubes.

Front Bumper with Full Grille Kit: An upgrade to the standard bumper, the kit comes with extra parts, including 1.5” diameter round tubing for the entire grille guard, plus 3/16” plate uprights.

Standard Rear Bumper Kit: Comes in 8-12 main pieces, 3/16" plate. All rear bumpers have the same overall look but part counts vary by truck make and model.

How to Build Your DIY Bumper

We have designed our bumper kits to weld together quickly and easily using your truck as the jig and then bolt onto your truck. Experienced fabricators should be able to build a MOVE Bumper in around 4-5 hours (not including the time it takes to remove your stock bumper). It all depends on your welding experience and whether you’re doing it alone or have others to help you.

Regardless of whether you get the standard MOVE DIY Kit, push bar/prerunner or full grille bumper, you can build your custom bumper with basic welding tools.

Customizing a MOVE DIY Bumper

Built to be completely customizable to fit your desired look and lifestyle, we not only offer plenty of custom options when ordering your DIY Kit but it is simple to personalize your custom bumper while building your kit.

Custom Options Available for the DIY Bumper Kit

Wing Light Holes: Our bumper kits come standard with no light holes. However, you can also customize it to have 1 or 2 sets of light holes at a small additional charge.

Winchmount Setup: We can cut a lead hole for the winch in the front of the bumper, along with a 1/4” winch mounting plate and two access holes.

Note: Our winch is modeled after a basic/standard 8000 lb. Warn.

Center Light Holes: You can add a 20” or 30" light bar to your bumper kit for a small customization fee.

The Bumper Kit comes to you in heavy-duty, pre-cut and pre-bent raw steel. Many customers paint, bedline, or powder coat their bumper before bolting it onto their truck. We don’t remove the MOVE logo from the bumper.
